1) It took me a while to get used to the constantly switching fonts and indention in Vielstimmig’s essay. I kept having the reflex that each paragraph has its independent persona and content and that the meaning wasn’t even coherent as I first start reading. Although the three authorship get clearer after reading one to two pages of the article, I wonder if I’m the only one who is experiencing this choppiness caused by varied fonts and indention. Before being able to identify the three personae, do fonts appear to lose their meaning of being different or their function as attention-grabbers or information-builders under such massive and frequent change? Is the text and its meaning entitled to larger flexibility under such design?
2) I agree with what is being mentioned in Vielstimmig that “hypertexual reading isn’t all that new” (106). Than is this piece of semi-wiki composition new enough in terms of the fundamental changes it brings to the coherency, textual flexibility, multiple authorship, navigation, and many other attributes of writing?
3) Cornish’s poem definitely gives numbers a fun representation. With similar playful sense, what elements of this poem contain pedagogical values to a freshman collage composition course?
